The game Swiss Family Robinson is based on the popular novel of the same name created by Johann David Wyss. It is a text-adventure game that is simple yet extremely fun.

At the start of the game you will find yourself inside the shipwreck.

At the start of the game you will find yourself inside the shipwreck. Your first goal is to find a way out of the ship and into the deserted island. To do this, you need to make a boat that you can ride on. When you get on the island, you

need to build a shelter and fight to survive. There are many challenges that you have to face when you get there. Aside from the wild animals, you will also have to deal with the harsh weather conditions and also deal with the antics of the rest of the Swiss family children. You need to be really careful when on the island because when you’re careless, it’s so easy to die from all the hazards in the forest. When you kill an animal, you can use its meat as food for the whole family. Make sure to choose carefully what items you need to bring so that you can get yourself out of trouble.
You need to explore your surroundings to get clues and items that you need in the game. To execute moves, you need to type in word commands. If you’re used to playing classic text-adventure games then it should be a little easier for you to get used in the game. But if this game is your first exposure to text-based games then it will take at least 30 minutes to figure out the commands.
The graphics is colorful and simple and works well for the game. It’s in 2-D but it’s still pretty good.
Don’t worry, just stick to the game and you’ll eventually get the hang of it. The exploration part is actually one of the most entertaining parts of the game anyway so you won’t get frustrated with it.
This is a wonderful game that can be played by all the members of the family. It’s simple, fun and it’s definitely wholesome.
